Premium Member Holy Moses

There once lived a sage prophet named Moses

   Who struggled forty years guiding noses

      Seems the Israelites defied

         Most everything he tried

            Leading that mob was no bed of roses

The Flight From Egypt

Do you have a different 
Way of giving?
Perhaps you've been trying
To be like everyone else.
When you start to question your
Reasons for leaving,
Remember;
Even the Israelites fled Egypt.
You, too, need to go.

Israelites

In spite of these catastrophes,
holocausts and disasters;
the adverse calamities
and endless ever afters;
despite (or because) of these,
we shelter in one Temple,
spreading over seven seas,
we're God's own chosen people.

Mearsheimer logic

Mearsheimer logic  

When the Nazi army invaded Poland
rumors had it they were killing Jews
It is wrong to call the Nazis, Germans 
although most of them were  
When the IFD army invaded Gaza
rumors had it they were killing Arabs
It is wrong to call IFD Israelites
although most of them are Jews

Burning Bush

You stood up
Through the Battle
You burned 
To prove a point 
You are the Burning Bush

Moses saw you 
God spoke to you
The Israelites passed you 
You surpassed the greatest 
You are the Burning Bush

Critical power 
Let you Endower 
The greatest pain 
Of the hottest Flame 
You are the Burning Bush

Premium Member Running Like Fleas, Hypocrisy

The Israelites fleeing Mt. Sinai
    like children at the final school bell

  When the Lord quickened their pace to Israel
    'We can't run fast enough,' they yelled

Faith So Simple

Some say it is only make-believe
   and so the Israelites could not conceive
       what God had in store,
and so Isaiah away doth fled 
       to the mountain top, where his clothes did shred
           and cried "our message they don't believe dear Lord";
then I will send my Son to die for everyone and everlasting life will be their reward.

The Travellers

THE TRAVELLERS

A hamlet,
no larger 
than a miracle,
lies before us.
A dream,
crouching uncharted
under a sea
of night sky,
unexpected						
but welcome.
The sea of night					
parts its waves
revealing a moonlit path
through to desert sands.
And I
lead my companions
closer to it,
lest the day dawn
and the dream fade.

While the fear
of Pharaoh’s chariots
floods our hearts.

Premium Member Moses

Moses led the Israelites up out of Egypt through the desert to the Promised Land.

   He hesitated but God roared, "Mo, you the man!" placing a magic staff in his hand!

So Moses with resolute stride led the rowdy bunch to the land of milk and honey,

   Muttering to himself, "Danged if I'll ever do this again for any amount of money!"

Land Of Canaan

(And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.) Genesis 33: 18.
Who is Jacob?
Jacob is son of Isaac; brother of Esau; father of the twelve patriarchs of Israel. 
Land of Canaan means Palestine which belongs to Canaanites not Israelites. So clear in Torah. 
 
Palestinians  
Real owner of that land
Jacob came to them.

David For David

DAVID and Goliath 
Sling shot, small man,
Trust me it is all in God’s hand
Think of me as the underdog who sang up the hill-
“I think I can, I think I can!”
The little Israelites that could
Giants if you are reading this poem 
You have nothing on this young shepherd boy 
Knocking down the hulking bully
David W, are you here listening?
All David's win with bravery holding on to faith in God.
I’m a king you’re a King.

Prayer Against Enemies



Oh Father God, deliver us from enemies

May we subdue them with multitudes of victories

Oh Lord Jesus, save us who are like the Israelites

Grant us strongholds and take our fights

Oh Holy Spirit, rescue us from utter defeat

Be our radiant prize, our magnificent merit

This we ask in our Almighty God. Amen.

Premium Member The Heavens Parted

   
    The Heavens parted, the sea split in two
        Dry land appeared, the Israelites walked through

    Six weeks later they stood at Sinai, as one they said
       “Everything in your Torah, we will gladly do” 

    A revolution occurred, a Covenant made
       between a People and God, a firm foundation laid

   And though the People have too often strayed
       the Covenant remains, 3,348 years ~ to this very day

Festival of Lights

On Sunday the Festival of Light begins 
Everyone does not know what that stands for 
So I'll explain 
It celebrates a revolt against oppression 
by the Israelites 
against cruel rulers 
who refused to let them 
practice their faith 
The people of Israel triumphed 
Led by Judah Maccabbee 
and his family 
a remarkable victory!
One day "swords will be beaten into ploughshares"
That seems a distant hope 
But if we "keep the faith"
IT WILL HAPPEN

Passover - As Always

The season of the 
    seder 
is 
almost 
upon 
us 
We will be filled with joy 
when we imbibe 
the four cups of wine 
   The mighty Red Sea 
parted for Moses and the Israelites 
as they move forward 
with their plans 
The late, lamented 
Richie Havens 
sang of Sinai in his 
   "Minstrel from Gault"
This year we once more 
are thankful 
for the Passover meal 
   and yes , we will take joy in 
our delivery from forces which 
are intended to destroy us

May 10th 2013

I saw the plane hit the tower that day 
And today I saw them place the new crown 
On the newest symbol of freedom
I was ment to see this just like I saw the other 
And I wonder did God bring me this
Am I the wittness for the distruction 
And the rebuilding of a temple
Do we look at it as the Israelites saw the second temple 
Are the parents of young children telling about the former glory of 
The twin towers that were there 
There , history repeats itself before our very lives

Keep Murmuring Like the Israelites

Curses not heard by the closest ears,
Speaker source a bundle of cold fears,
On his alert skin trembling hairs:
They would not fail to seize all his wares...

He has heard his neighbors grunts and cries:
Whines which leave wet eyes and cheeks one dries
Not much Alan can do, if he phones
But neither much help is sure from moans
"Keep murmuring like the Israelites
Even as it lacks electrolytes:
The slight, the spite; Oh yes, the sure bite!
History shall you remember and cite!"
